Late at night, two Xianbei Qin soldiers avoided the patrol in the camp and rushed out.

After another seven or eight days, the city wall was still peaceful. Although the last defeat of the Qin army was not a serious injury to its vitality, it was necessary to renovate it for some time.

The new wall has been completely renovated, and the arrows and rolling wood are also equipped. From a distance, except for the newer ones, it is no different from the city walls on both sides.

Xie Li was still wandering around the city wall every day, which made the Jin soldiers guarding the city confused: his mission had been completed long ago, and he could just rest in the city. What would he do when he ran here every day? It was like patrol.

However, when Xie Li was wandering around, he often looked at these soldiers with a kind look. One hero and another hero called intimate. Everyone didn't have much help to him. After all, he didn't hit the smiling person.

Recently, Xie Li did not "blindly" wander around anymore, but instead determined that the northern city wall had been abandoned by him.

Although there is nothing to study about the terrain outside the northern city wall, only a wide Han River flows by, if you want to go out in Xiangyang City, this is the best choice.

The Qin army opposite the other three moats were too dense, and one person was over without being noticed, not to mention that Xie Li wanted to take away not only himself.

It was already half past afternoon, and it was almost time for dinner.

This is also something that Xie Li felt quite uncomfortable. He was used to three meals a day, so he could only eat two meals a day when he came to this place, and basically he just steamed low-quality corn with white water.

Not only is it difficult to swallow, even if I grit my teeth and finish eating, I still feel hungry.

As for the meal prepared by the army for each person, it was just a piece of salted vegetables that were pickled with salt. After Xie Li took the first bite, he vomited it clean.

After several times, Xie Li had to choose to compromise, obediently closed all his senses, and solved them one by one. There was really no way to do this. In this army, if you don’t get some salt in your body for a day, you will feel uncomfortable.

So every night after Xie Li came home, he would take out the little meat left at home and stir-fry some dishes by himself to relieve the discomfort.

In the hot summer, the meat decays extremely quickly, and there is no refrigerator to store here. In addition, Xie Li wanted to "relieve" it, so within three days, the place returned to the past without meat.

Fortunately, my mother, Qin, is also a "big-sense". She did not ask Xie Li to teach her and then do it herself as she said before. Only then did she save the family's chance to enjoy this last delicious food.

However, although Qin praised the little delicacy left, he still gave it half of it and sent it to the home of the in-laws. After Qin arrived at home, Grandma Zhao praised Xuanzhi for being good at being a skillful person. It was a blessing for her granddaughter to marry her.

Although Su Huixue was a little angry at the grandma's words, her face turned red. However, after a while, when she saw the meat on the plate, all kinds of emotions were thrown away. She still remembered the taste clearly. Although the last time she ate was bad for various reasons, this did not affect her deep impression of this delicacy at all.

"Thank you... Thank you... Aunt Qin..." Every time Su Huixue said this, her face seemed to be even redder.

Xie Li walked slowly down the city wall. Thinking of the fact that the meat had been sold out, he lamented in his heart: How can we live this life?

After the last time he built a new wall, although Zhu Xu had the intention of rewarding, he was rejected by Xie Li Wanyan. He didn't know how long he would stay here. Now he had enough food. Moreover, after the celebration banquet, there was really not much left in the army.

Although a good meal is worth yearning for, it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t. Xie Li has never been a pretentious person, and this little bit of suffering is nothing. Just like now, he will be over with a few verbal sighs.

But today should be better than usual. Zhu Xu's mother, Mrs. Han, on the 60th birthday, Zhu Xu specifically instructed herself to go to the Zhu Mansion to have a banquet during dinner. The old lady had already talked about herself several times.

Before he knew it, Xie Li had already arrived in front of the Zhu Mansion. The guards at the door were still the two people who came last time. Fortunately, Xie Li left too deep an impression on them last time, otherwise he would have to "mount" his sword again.

After briefly speaking, one of them said: "General Zhonglang has already told us that you don't need to inform us when you come, just go in."

Xie Li smiled "hehe" and said, "After that being said, Xie Li knew nothing about the Zhonglang General's Mansion. Although he had been here last time, he was just a hasty person after all, so if he went wrong and annoyed Zhonglang General's crime would be a big deal, so he could only help him lead a way for Xie Li."

The duty in front of Zhu's mansion was rotated on time, so when Zhu Xu gave them the orders, the two of them thought that Xie Li was already a regular visitor to the Zhu's mansion, but it was not his turn to be on duty when they came. I really didn't expect that this was the first time Xie Li visited Zhu's mansion except for the last time.

Xie Li followed one of them into Zhu's mansion, wondering.

The scene here is no different from the last time I came here. There are no more jewelry about birthday celebrations, no noise, and no difference from ordinary days.

Oh, yes.

After a while, Xie Li suddenly realized that the city was in a difficult period, and most people could only rely on rice soup to survive.

Zhu Xu was the commander of this city. He paid much attention to the people in the city earlier. Although he could not give much help in essence, he could not hold a big banquet at this moment. No matter how filial he is, he must keep everything simple, and even as he is now, he thinks nothing has happened.

No matter how tolerant a person is, he is also fragile when he cannot even satisfy his basic food and clothing.

Of course, being fragile does not mean that they will endure it secretly.

After Zhu Xu threw away the outer city because of carelessness, the people in the city were already a little resentful. After the siege, life became more and more difficult, and this resentment could not be calmed down for a long time. Zhu Xu naturally knew this situation clearly. After finally defending the city countless times, the people in the city saw their efforts to remedy, and this resentment was gradually reduced.

But this does not mean that the resentment disappears.

At this critical juncture, the Zhu family can only act in a low-key manner, otherwise, once public grievance arouses, the result can be imagined.

Xie Li finally arrived in front of the hall. Zhu Xu seemed to have seen his arrival. He was standing in front of the door and said, "Jing Xuan is coming at the right time. The banquet is about to begin. Come in quickly."
